General University Area Updates and Rumours

On the contrary, I would say we have had an undersupply and only now are approaching a reasonable supply. It doesn't otherwise make sense why students would have been living in Lakeshore, far from most amenities, and overcrowding the Route 9 bus.

You get no argument from me. We are coming out of four decades of anti-student city councils. Only 8 years ago or so did city council became open to addressing the needs of students housing. It started with Nodes and Corridors, but they were too timid to follow it to its natural conclusion which is a thriving Northdale mixed-use neighbourhood. This has finally been approved in the last two years, and now we'll see consolidation of the student population into a hip Northdale neighbourhood.
